Minni's petition dismissed

The High Court (HC) has dismissed a petition filed by Ayesha Siddika Minni seeking cancellation of the trial proceedings in a case filed against her over the murder of her husband Rifat Sharif.

The bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice SM Mozibur Rahman passed the rejection order on Tuesday saying that her petition was not moved properly.

Advocate ZI Khan Panna appeared for Minni while Deputy Attorney General FR Khan represented the state.

On January 1 this year, Barguna District and Sessions Judges Court framed charges against the accused including Minni.

On June 26, Rifat Sharif, 25, was hacked to death in broad daylight in front of his wife’s college in Barguna town.

Police, on September 1, pressed charges against her and 23 others for their alleged involvement in the murder of Rifat Sharif.
